AVT or Quad bikes

ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) Quad bikes are a 4WD vehicle with automatic transmission. This is a form of transportation and activity option for both longer and shorter tours and travel. The bikes are very stable and designed for driving over rough terrain. Most travelers prefer to go only on short ATV tours for a day or part of a day, exploring the rugged Icelandic landscape, reaching places where few or no other people are around, driving up mountain hills, down into valleys, on black lava beaches and crossing rivers.

There are quite a few ATV base camps in Iceland and therefore there are different routes to choose from depending on the time allotted to the experience. Read more One very popular route is on the black lava sands by the Atlantic Ocean, close to Myrdalsjokull glacier. This company is operated by the Arcanum tour operator. It starts at their base with guides going over the tour plans and safety instructions and once travellers take off they start by crossing some small rivers before heading down to the black lava sand fields which derives from the now dormant volcano Katla. Next there is a stop to enjoy the amazing view up to the Myrdalsjokull glacier, riders then head along the coast to the southernmost part of Iceland, namely the small rocky peninsula of Dyrholaey. From there the route goes further along the coast to the river Jokulsa glacial river where the tour continues up to the foot of the mountain. Then it´s time to head back to base.

On this tour you can get in touch with the raw black lava sand landscape that is characteristic for the south coast. This is an unforgettable experience of contrasting landscapes where the nature envelops the traveler in its warm embrace.
